About Bachelor of English

The study of English teaches students critical modes of thinking that are beneficial in almost any academic or professional endeavor. By focusing on major theoretical schools of the twentieth century--such as structuralism, post-structuralism, feminism, Marxism, deconstruction, queer theory, psychoanalysis, and post-colonialism—students studying English learn how to integrate an array of demanding analytic paradigms.

A corollary set of intellectual skills developed as a Dartmouth English major is the knowing deployment of a sophisticated critical vocabulary. In recent years, approximately 100 members of each Dartmouth class have graduated as English majors. Some continue their study in graduate school; others prepare to teach English in secondary schools; others become journalists, writers, and editors; and many go on to law school and medical school.
